I'll start by saying don't bother suggesting other cars My dad is a great guy but stubborn. He has made his mind up that he's either getting a Rav4 or an X3


I know we have some brilliant car guys here so what are you initial thoughts on deciding between the two vehicles in terms of maintenance costs, reliability, smoothness of the ride and versatility

He mostly just drives to see clients and the car would probably last a few years into his retirement. I think personally that because it's just for a smooth ride and something he loves... after all these years he deserves the BMW. But he's worried people will think he's pretentious which couldn't be further from the truth.

Just any thoughts on the two cars would be very welcome please and thanks!!
